Red Velvet Poke Cake

Are you a fan of poke cakes? Honestly, I’ve never made one until recently and I’m definitely a new fan. This Red Velvet Poke Cake would be such a special way to say “I love you” to your valentine (or your coworkers!).

Red Velvet Poke Cake Recipe

You see that hole in the middle of that slice? Holes are “poked” into the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon.

Then a can of sweetened condensed milk is poured over the cake and seeps into the holes.

Slather it with whipped cream topping.

Lastly, top with chocolate shavings. By the way… no, this is not low fat or low calorie. 🙂

To me, Valentines Day (or any holiday) isn’t about being lavished with expensive gifts. It’s someone going the extra mile to make you feel appreciated… whether it be with a cake or preparing you a nice dinner. I understand a lot of people don’t have the time — but for those of you that do… bake this cake!
